❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for scar treatments to work?
Results vary by scar type and age. New scars typically show improvement in 8 weeks with consistent daily use. Older or deeper scars may take 3–6 months. Patience and consistency are the most important factors — skipping applications will slow results significantly.
Which product is best for acne scars specifically?
The Mederma Advanced Scar Gel is the top choice for acne scars — it's clinically proven to improve the color, texture, and overall appearance of acne scarring with just once-daily use. Bio-Oil is also excellent for post-acne marks and uneven skin tone.
Can I use these products on my face?
Yes — all three products are safe for face use. Bio-Oil and Palmer's Scar Serum are non-comedogenic and won't clog pores. Mederma is also formulated for facial scars from acne, stitches, and minor injuries.
When should I start using scar treatment?
You can start using scar treatments as soon as the wound has fully closed and the skin surface has healed. Never apply any scar product to an open wound or broken skin. The sooner you start after healing, the better the results — early treatment prevents scars from deepening.
